FINE CIGARs.-Our friend, across the
way, Mr.. r. L. Stratton, in addition to
one of the most select and choice stocks
of groceries and family supplies ever kept
in Staunton, is dealing in cigars and to-
bacco. His Especial" made to order, is
one Of the best favored smokers we have
ever tried, and is sold at such short profit
as to assure the worth of the money paid
for it. AS a five center it has no superior
and all who delight to engage in apleasant
puff should call upon him to test the truth
of what is here said He is the sole pro-
prietor Of an excellent brand of chewing
tobacco, which is commended by those
who use the weed in that form as A No. /.
In fact, Stratton values his reputation.
and consequently keeps nothing on hand
either in the grocery or tobacco line, that
is not first class, and that he cannot re-
commend to his customers. He is one Of
our most conscientious and enterprising
young merchants, and deserves the liberal
patronage he is receiving.

The sermon was good one, a fair preSenta-

full of pathetic incidents, which are told with

He doesn't like the indicators ideas of High

of his discourse did not sound as charitable as
might have been expected coming from the

A BRIDES SKULL FRACTURED.-Ac cor
respondent of the Richmond Dispatch,
writing from Harrisonburg, Va, Feb II.
says: On Wednesday night last, a most
distressing accident occurred near Pleas
ant Valley, in this county. A few days
before a Mr.. Frank married beautiful
country girl, and in their rounds of visits
spending their honeymoon, they stopped
Wednesday at Mr.. Showalter's near Pleas
ant Valley. After the household had re-
tired the boys of the ne ighborhoti, accor~
ding to a long established custom, came to
the house for the purpose of "belling'' the
young married couple. Mr. Frank and his
wife, being aroused by the sound of innu-
nerable bells, arose and entered into the
amusement with their visitors. and Mrs.
Frank and lady friend, in order to add
to the noise, ran to farm bell hanging
near by and began ringing it most vigo-
rously. They pulled the rope too hard,
however, and the bell turned over, was
thrown from its place and fell, striking
Mrs Frank in the forehead, fracturing her
skull The scene of merriment was at once
turned to mourning and number of doc
tors summoned, and while Mrs. Frank IS
life is not despaired of, she is not lying in
most CRITICAL condition.
